I have very strong opinions on the legal system. Firstly, I do believe that it needs improvement. The law was made to protect and enforce, but nowadays, more enforcing is being done than protecting. It is no longer uncommon for innocents to be locked. It’s hard to differentiate between the innocent and guilty due to the fact that the treatments are usually the same.
I was watching television just recently and saw, where a mentally challenged person was tear-gassed and shocked because He stayed too long in a public bathroom. The guy was simply having difficulty when suddenly he started making a mess on himself. The store-clerk called the police and without proper querying, they started applying force. Where’s the protection there?
The legal Officials need more training on how to carry out the law. There are always complaints. Whilst you cannot please everyone, there still should be some form of strict recourse to the ones who corrupt the system and place a bad reputation on the system as a whole.
I don’t believe they are being punished enough. If they break the law, it seems to be a slight tap on the wrist, while a civilian or just an ordinary person, commits lesser offenses and gets treated as hardcore criminals. This then tells me that the legal system is unfair, unjust, corrupt, and needs a change.
The law-makers are the biggest law-breakers. The legal system should never be just for the common people. It is for all. Everyone is under the law, and no one above it.
“The law assures each person certain rights and assigns each person certain duties. The law enforcement authorities… enforce specific laws called statutes…A violation of these statutes is a crime.” (Essentials of Business Law, Anthony L. Liuzzo, page 31)

Myspace Hoax EOC Week 2
Having read the story of the MySpace hoax, I’m appalled that grown-ups would be involved in such a thing. The mom in question, Lori Drew, claims she got involved to find out if then, 13 years old Megan Meier, was spreading unsatisfactory comments about her daughter so therefore she created this fictitious character named Josh Evans.
“Josh” quickly became friends with Megan, messaging back and forth on a daily basis. Constant monitoring of the site was done by Lori, her daughter and a colleague. Suddenly, it went sour, hateful messages were then sent which caused Megan great grief.
With Megan already a medicated, depressed soul, she took all this to heart and committed suicide.
How cruel. I seriously don’t believe Lori Drew wanted the child dead, but it was a senseless act to begin with for her to even be involved in something so petty and childish. Had it been just her daughter, it would have been a lot more understandable. Children, especially teenagers are usually hurtful towards each other, but for an adult, a parent, to get caught up in that sort of scheme is down-right wrong.
I do believe she should be punished severely especially since someone lost their life dud to their particular prank. She does deserve some jail time and all the other parties involved should also face circumstances.
As a mother, I can’t imagine losing a child. Maybe to an injury or a disease, one can understand, but to the hands of someone pulling a cruel prank, that’s just unforgiveable. Lori , being a mother herself should have some remorse knowing how it would feel if she was the one to lose her child to some senseless act.
People should really wise-up. Think of consequences before taking actions. Choose your battles, and parents should know what they’re getting into when dealing with teenagers. They’ll always be vendettas among them, but it should be approached with less evasive methods.

What I really think of lawyers
Some lawyers are really hard-working and know their stuff. They will go the distance for you to get your case solved in a way that will be satisfactory to both you and them.
Others, however, are just down-right corrupt. They give into bribery and condone anything that is immoral or unethical to get the monetary gain they seek. These types of lawyers have judges in their pockets that they have so-called given contributions for re-election. I call it bribe despite whatever fancy names they want to call it.
People generally will chose the lawyers with less morals because due to their immoral and unethical practices, they have a higher winning rate and their reputations go widespread. The lawyers, who are by the book, get the least clients and lower ratings even though they have a better conduct in how they perform their duties.
Personally, I would choose the ones who are moral and ethical to do my case. If you’re a person who upholds certain conduct and consider yourself with morals, then take your case to one of those corrupted lawyers, you are then considered a hypocrite. Why else would you chose a lawyer whom you know is doing his/her practices through the back door when you claim you have standards and they don’t.
I believe lawyers should be exposed. For people who claim to know and study law, they surely do a lot of things illegally. They buy judges and other officials to get ahead in their profession and ignore the little people who cannot afford their services. If they would apply good morals and ethics in their lifestyles I know they would still be successful in their professions. Everyone working together for the good cause of the law and getting proper results would be more rewarding that doing it just wrong.
Someone should speak out on this, maybe it will be me.
